Grimgutt on [West]Fregion server asks:
“There has been a rumor going around that SM [Spiritmaster] pets will soon be able to fly with us so we do not lose and have to resummon them every time we fly. Is this true, and if so, how soon?”
Spiritmasters should be delighted to know that the rumor is true! Contrary to some rumors, though, this enhancement will not be part of the 1.5.1 update that will be coming to the NA and EU servers in November. Spiritmaster pets will soon be able to fly and fight along your side while in the air, a feature that will obviously be quite beneficial within the Abyss. As before, you will still only be able to summon a pet while on the ground.

Today is Friday the 13th, a day that superstitious folks think is unlucky. While we do advise to keep a sharp eye out for pianos falling from skyscrapers, today we also want to spend some time to explore and promote recent community happenings.
Michael Jackson Cross Server Competition
The European Aion Legion Infinity has thrown down a single, sequined glove to announce a cross-server competition that pays respect to one of the most renowned personalities of recent decades. The Legion has set forth a global challenge to uncompromising server pride. Which server can gather the most players on the same spot and perform a synchronized Pop Idol dance emote?
OOC is an incredibly well-drawn Aion comic. We’re simply amazed by the level of detail put into each strip. Don’t miss this!
Avatar Contest: Design Tamat Some Awesomeness
Tamat’s been with the Aion team for a good couple of weeks now, and all this time we’ve thought: “Hey, your style is groovy and all, but something’s missing.” We finally realized that he needs a snazzy avatar to go with the mojo. Help him design one, and maybe you’ll be lucky enough to walk away with a prize!
“Nokinerk,” a Shugo Fan Art Piece by Nadou
Nadou is one of our favorite French artists, no doubt. Her skillful and spot-on compositions continue to brighten our days. This lovely Shugo is no exception.
“Belated Halloween Sketchy” by wingedbunny
It’s difficult to say whether this one spells out Christmas or Halloween, but it’s warm and cozy. And we like it.
The Singularity Legion’s website is a masterfully crafted item made by Aion community old-timer Fleiva. While the site is recent, it’s not newly made during the past week or even the past month. It is, however, good enough to warrant an extra look. If you’ve got a nicely designed Legion site yourself, make sure to shoot it our way.
(HU) Aionblog.hu—Aion Paradox, A Hungarian Blog
This Hungarian Aion blog was sent to us nearly anonymously. We like the devotion shown, however, and thought it deserved some attention. The author gives good coverage of what’s happening out there, combining both community as well as official news tidbits.
(FR) Millenium’s Aionstat Tool
The well-known French Legion Millenium recently released a web tool that can be used to track Legion performance over time. It will probably be most interesting to French players since only French language servers are being monitored. Best French Legion right now? Origine.
The Eye on Community article series is a way for us to highlight cool stuff each week that you do. Keep your submissions coming to aion_community@ncsoft.com.
Fly cool,

LOL SM WITH PETS? THE WORLD WILL END!
-
I'm a sorcerer and know that SMs have a pet for a reason. This is an excellent idea! Great work!
-
NERF SM's there fear needs to be on a longer cd and you guys are going to BUFF THEM ... BULLSHIT
-
Pretty good idea, will make pvp a bit more interesting when vsing SM's then
-
they need to implement the flying SM pets because for us thats like you rangers going to the air without your bow,
-
yah, the retarded "feared the whole fight" ftw. Oh, btw... 64 bit fortress siege crashes, paying attention yet Aion staff?
-
Great..just what we need. An already OP class getting a damage boost.
-
In response to Arius, if you had bothered to read the previous eye on communities, there is a notice that they are working on a fix for the crysystem.dll crashing issue
-
I think that crytek dll is a matter of get more memory... maybe or something is screw in your computer page file...
-
Still nothing on the cryststem.dll/siege crashing issue? Oh well, no reason to re-sub then.
-
Would have been nice if they worked on stopping the fortress siege crashing first, flying SM pets are useless if you're stare'n at a windows error message and sent back to the desktop.
-
SM pets flying = Good Game Development. Botting everywhere and garbage players still buying kinah unchecked = Bad Service. C'mon NCsoft, this needs action NOW.
-
SM flying pets op? That seems foolish. W.Root got nerfed, and crash is gone. Fine by me. At least our damage in abyss pvp won't be laughable anymore.
-
Too bad there isn't an eye on botting report.
-
well just saying I know it's still the developer's decision as always.
-
In that case Ambush should also be implemented in Aerial combat. I don't get the logic of it being only done on the ground when flying is absolutely faster than running right? Even if you reason out that it happens by means of teleporting behind it's the sam
-
no cosmetic surgery tickets yet.... wtf
-
Oh yay, I'm so glad that OOC got some recognition! Sak is the awesome.
-
mic, no, you can't compare traps with SM pets at all.
-
If they are gonna make it so pets can fly they should let Glads get Aerial Lockdown while we are flying or while someone else is flying because that is one of our only ways to stop people from running.
